This should be big news:

Getting the big picture just got easier
For the ultimate in situational awareness, the GMX 200™ multi-function display leads the pack with a viewing area almost 20 percent larger than other panel-mounted MFDs and an impressive list of features and nav graphic interfaces.
Big-Picture Display
You'll always get the big picture with the GMX 200's sunlight-readable, high-resolution, 640 x 480, display. In addition to its huge AMLCD display, it comes with enhanced backlighting that dramatically improves color and contrast, resulting in chart depictions and images that are brighter and more vivid in all lighting conditions.
Big-Time Features
Similar to its predecessor, the MX20™, the GMX 200 is easy-to-use with multiple functions and useful features that make navigation simple and provide an extra margin of safety:
At a glance, see your aircraft's position relative to terrain, obstructions, weather, airways, navaids, restricted airspace and more
select between several charting options and easily add or remove details with the simple press of a soft key
new rotary knob allows for quicker map scale changes and entry of data
front loading SD card-slot allows for expanded memory and makes loading updated charts uncomplicated
fits in same panel space as the MX20 and includes more serial ports for added sensor capacity
Detailed Data
The GMX 200 includes high resolution terrain and hydrography data for the entire world which is preloaded for an unmatched presentation even at the lower zoom scales. The Garmin Base Map with cities, roads, rivers, and lakes has been added to further improve situational awareness. An aviation database featuring Jeppesen® NavData™ is used to draw airports, airways, navaids, airspace, and more. Map scales range from one-fourth of a mile to a whopping 2500 miles. A unique split screen function allows you to simultaneously view two charting options along with the vertical profile for the elevation of the terrain along the route of flight.
Exclusive Chart View™ Option
The optional Chart View feature can be added to further enhance situational awareness in the airport and terminal areas. Surface diagrams are automatically displayed on departure and arrival to assist with taxiing unfamiliar airports or in conditions of poor visibility. Your aircraft's position can also be overlaid on the electronic approach chart to provide a visual crosscheck while helping to reduce pilot workload. All of the Chart View plates are seamlessly stitched into the custom mapping options.
Seamless Integration
With the addition of the GDL 69, you can add XM WX Satellite Weather information to the GMX 200. Graphical weather depictions including NEXRAD, METARs, TAFs, TFRs, winds aloft, echo tops, precipitation type at the surface, lightning strikes, storm-cell data, AIRMETs, and SIGMETs can be received and displayed regardless of altitude. Combine animated NEXRAD images with the maximum zoom range of 2500nm and a nationwide view of the weather is presented on one screen. The GMX 200 also provides a user interface for the more than 150 channels of XM audio with the GDL 69A.
Similar to the MX20, the GMX 200 comes in three versions: Standard, Traffic, and Radar/Traffic.
GMX 200 Traffic — supports interfaces to Garmin TIS transponders and ADS-B transceivers, and can also be connected to certain TCAS 1 and TAS systems.
GMX 200 Radar/Traffic — supports traffic interfaces and can also be interfaced with Garmin’s GWX 68™, a new color digital weather radar with 6.5 KW of transmit power. When connected to the GWX 68™, the Radar/Traffic model displays real-time weather ahead of the aircraft supporting both horizontal and vertical perspectives.
The GMX 200 may be interfaced with the Garmin 400/500 series, GNS 480™, Garmin GDL 69/69A, Garmin GTX 330/33™, Garmin GDL 90™, Garmin GWX 68, as well as many other manufactures' GPS navigation equipment.
Please note:
